He passed with good grades, but, he needed to go back to Serbia. That try-out was to sign contract if he would enter on Bucharest University, and unfortunately, he didn't get in.^{[citation needed]}

Next try-out

Živadinović played for his university, and has been searching for a club to go on a try-out, but, unfortunately, without any luck.
